Cash Game 25c/25c cash game chip breakdown (4 Viewers)

I run a regular two table, 50c/50c game with $50 min buy-ins but our average buy-in is probably $150-$200.

As I want to minimise the amount of admin when giving out chips, I make up 25 barrels of 4x50c, 8x$1 and 8x$5. I have a total of 100x50c, 200x$1, 400x$5, 75x$25, 25x$100. This system works because I have very little admin when giving out chips. Making change is not an issue with my guys, they just make it with their neigbour anyway. We play quite a deep game and usually end up having $5-6k across both tables easy by the end of the night.

I know the PCF mantra is "MOAR CHIPS!" but if they just sit in racks and look pretty, what's the point? Unless that is the point perhaps :)
 
I'm curious as to why you like .50 chips at all. From my experience, whenever a game has .25 and .50 chips, most players end up using mostly one and the other just collects dust.
I just like the looks of them. My players have no issues using both the .25 and .50 chips, and making change with the neighbours as required. Both get used equally, except the final hand of the evening where every player in the pot throws in the .25 chips so they don't have to count them for the cash out
 
I can see the logic of two racks of fracs for a 0.25/0.25 game where everybody eats limpy nit sandwiches. I only hope you can afford them, because clay fracs often cost THE MOST.
What he said! My Tina example was about the cheapest example I could make. If you're piecing together original sets from defunct card rooms, then the fracs will usually be the most expensive. The high denom chips are usually the most expensive on a per chip basis, but, getting 200 fracs can be next to impossible. Would love a couple of racks of the original HSI quarters, but, I'm not prepared to pay the 2-3k its going to take, on the slim chance anyone is even willing to let two racks go in the first place.

With the new generation chippers, 95% of the members are Tina Chippers rather than Paulson Chippers so 2 Fracs being non affordable is a thing of the past.

Yes, really on make sense for the wallet to get 2 racks of fracs if you can get them afforable.

I plan to get a breakdown of 2 fracs for the first time when the Tangier Set is finalized. More variety and coverage, plus it cheap
